Housing Age Profile
Buyers and renters in Asbury can ask a simple question of any home: was it built before 1986? The citywide median of 1997 will not answer it.
A significant portion of Asbury's housing stock predates 1970, so some homes may have older plumbing materials. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Protecting Children from Lead in Asbury
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.
